June 1959 - Welcome To Luthuli! - Luthuli talks to White Crowd. Non-political whites turned up in hundreds to see Luthuli, hear his views at the multi-race meeting. I think it could only happen in the Cape, said Luthuli. The Whites in the audience looked a little surprised and even startled - at the singing and shouting that began and ended the meeting. But they listened to the Chief's long and closely-thought-out speech with wrapt attention. No one barracked or interrupted, and no one asked any unfriendly questions. At the end one white man got up to congratulate Luthuli on the dignity and sincerity with which he had spoken. (Photograph by Cloete Breytenbach BAHA)
